The walls of Graceland, in Memphis, Tennessee - the iconic mansion where Elvis Presley used to live - were marked with graffiti this week. Phrases like "BLM" and "F*** Trump" can be seen written on the walls of the mansion that belonged to Elvis Presley. In addition to the property, the stage Levitt Shell, an amphitheater where Presley gave his first paid show, was also vandalized with similar messages, according to Fox 13.
